Letter To Mason City Council in Support of Sanctuary City for the Unborn Ordinance

To each of the Mason Council Members & Leadership,

I wanted to thank you, applaud you for the decision that was made last October to make the City of Mason a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. I know that it was a controversial ordinance in some people's eyes - but it was a right one. I am thankful for you and all those that are willing to make right decisions though facing criticism from a “loud” but “small” crowd that looks to make it a “human right” to abort a human child.

The Bible teaches that the “powers that be are ordained of God” (Romans 13:1) which you are for the City of Mason. God has allowed you to have that important position, USE IT WELL! You have within your power to wield for the defenseless or yield to the selfish. It is your responsibility to do what is right - and you should do it no matter the criticism or the cost because that is the oath you took. Right is always right, truth is always truth, and there is nothing more precious than the sanctity and protection of every human life.

Right does not become wrong because of financial loss - Right is still right.
Right does not become wrong because of overwhelming criticism - Right is still right.
Right does not become wrong because of public/majority/minority opinion - It is still right!

God’s blessing and approval is far more important for the City of Mason than anything else. Proverbs 14:34 says:

"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."

I’m praying for you this evening - I support you along with my members that are Mason residents to make the decision to protect the unborn in your jurisdiction.

Sincerely and Prayerfully,

Pressing On!

Pastor Mark Sage

Recognize God's Mercy, but now - LET'S DO THE WORK!

Praise God for His mercy and grace upon America this election season. We need to recognize that we have been blessed by the Almighty. He has given us more time to enjoy our freedoms. While our hope rests in the Lord always – we do thank Him for allowing us to enjoy our freedoms in our country into the near future – freedom to worship, freedom to assemble peaceably, freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms. BUT NOW… LET"S DO THE WORK! With these freedoms come responsibilities. We have asked God to give us the outcome we have received – but that same merciful God has a will for our lives that involves loving Him and serving Him faithfully. If those who proclaim to be “born again” believers in this nation do not use these liberties we have been afforded to live for God and instead continue to use them for license to selfishness, greed, and pride – then this nation is doomed for we have already tested God...

THE GREATEST NEED IN 2024!

Often, I hear complaints about what is going on in the world today and in churches. People have become disillusioned with society and even with church. They are mad at their government, upset with society with its wicked pop-culture, critical of churches, and always blame someone else for whatever woes have come there way. We blame politicians for their corruption, the government for deceiving us, the schools for brainwashing the children, the church for not being exciting enough or having enough ministries and the pastor for not being deep enough/hard enough/soft enough/or inspiring enough or whatever criticism we have. Then everyone seems to have a “disease,” a trauma, or a disability, giving themselves an excuse for what they do or why they allow sin in their own life. As bad as all these things are, they are going to continue. The world will still be wicked and hate God as the Bible says. When the world speaks well o...

Jesus Loved Martha

John 11:5 " Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus." Yes, this is an odd verse to quote from my devotions, but it reminds us of a great truth: God's love for does not change in the midst of a trial. Remember, Mary, Martha, & Lazarus were going through the great trial of their lives in this chapter. They may have been inclined to question God's love. BUT THE TRIAL ACTUALLY PROVES HIS GREAT LOVE! It shows us His love is not altered because we are facing a trial. The trial is always meant to grow our faith, strengthen are walk, to correct us or to guide us - but never is it meant to question His love for us.
